Joe Pickett’s Next Chapter: Author C.J. Box returns with the beloved game warden character in his latest modern western novel, Long Range.
BY IAN NELIGH, JULY 15, 2020
Striding across the landscape of an imperfect modern-day Wild West populated by homicidal cowboys, assassins, and shady bureaucrats, game warden Joe Pickett is almost a perfect hero.
The fictional character is not without his flaws. He’s a terrible shot, and is often fooled or beaten by his foes, at least initially. With his iron-clad determination to do the right thing, he sees that justice is served, and he’s had a lot of practice doing it.
